|Abstract=This article considers interactional trouble that arises when the social distribution of knowledge and interpersonal relationships come together in the delivery and reception of good news in pediatric neurology visits for video-electroencephalography testing. Contrary to common perceptions of good news as easy to deliver and receive, I find that it is occasionally fraught with hesitancy in this context. Using conversation analysis, I explore what drives this trouble and argue that some of the difficulty associated with good news in this context arises from its structure: Physicians prioritize conveying “the facts” of the news over characterizing its valence. However, parents treat physicians’ assessments of the news as critical for the news delivery. When physicians fail to evaluate the information they present, parents tend to treat news deliveries as incomplete, which not only causes difficulties in their reception of the news but also leads to protracted news deliveries.

|Title='Breast cancer won't kill ya in the breast': Broaching a rationale for chemotherapy during the surgical consultation for early-stage breast cancer
|Author(s)=Virginia Teas Gill;
|Tag(s)=Medical EMCA
|BibType=ARTICLE
|Year=2019
|Month=feb
|Journal=Patient Education and Counseling
|Volume=102
|Number=2
|Pages=207–215
|URL=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0738399118306608
|DOI=10.1016/j.pec.2018.09.002
|Note=
|Abstract=Objective: To examine how, and for what interactional purpose, a surgeon raises the risk of death with an early-stage breast cancer patient. Method: Single-case analysis of a recorded surgical consultation, using conversation analysis. Results: The surgeon not only negotiates the surgical treatment decision with the patient, she provides an overview of what her non-surgical treatment is likely to entail. Analysis reveals how the surgeon addresses interactional challenges when providing this overview, including how to broach the rationale for administering chemotherapy, the possibility that cancer could spread to vital organs and prove fatal. To do this, the surgeon orients to the possibility that the patient has misconceptions about her risk of dying from breast cancer. She uses negatively-formulated assertions to invoke these possible misconceptions, making correction relevant and providing a point of entry into delicate interactional territory. Conclusion: The surgeon draws upon possible patient misconceptions to broach the rationale for administering adjuvant chemotherapy. Practice Implications: The surgical consultation is typically the ﬁrst treatment-related consultation newlydiagnosed breast cancer patients have and represents an opportunity to educate patients and prepare them for future treatment decisions. The challenges of providing and receiving such overviews, and how they may inﬂuence future treatment decisions, merit consideration.

|DOI=10.1017/9781108936583
|Abstract=Conversation Analysis (CA) is one of the predominant methods for the detailed study of human social interaction. Bringing together thirty-four chapters written by a team of world-renowned experts, this Handbook represents the first comprehensive overview of conversation-analytic methods. Topics include how to collect, manage, and transcribe data; how to explore data in search of possible phenomena; how to form and develop collections of phenomena; how to use different types of evidence to analyze data; how to code and quantify interaction; and how to apply, publish, and communicate findings to those who stand to benefit from them. Each method is introduced clearly and systematically, and examples of CA in different languages and cultures are included, to show how it can be applied in multiple settings. Comprehensive yet accessible, it is essential reading for researchers and advanced students in disciplines such as Linguistics, Sociology, Anthropology, Communication and Psychology.

|Title=Patients in pain: How treatment plan formulations shape patient response
|Author(s)=Stefan Timmermans, Tanya Stivers, Keith Cox, Amanda McArthur
|Tag(s)=Medical EMCA; conversation analysis; doctor-patient communication; opioids; social interaction; treatment negotiation
|BibType=ARTICLE
|Year=2024
|Journal=Communication and Medicine
|Volume=19

|URL=https://journal.equinoxpub.com/CAM/article/view/22881
|DOI=10.1558/cam.22881
|Abstract=Communication research on medical interaction has made inroads into how patients shape treatment outcomes as well as how physician presentation of treatment can shape patient acceptance or resistance. Pain is the number one reason patients visit primary care physicians. The overprescription of opioids for chronic pain remains a major public health problem in the US and constitutes a risk factor for opioid addiction. In this study, we investigated how primary care physicians communicate recommendations for alternatives to opioid treatments for patients with self-reported moderate to serious chronic musculoskeletal pain and examined the relationship between communication strategies and patient resistance to non-opioid treatment recommendations. We relied on a convenience sample of 35 video recorded visits in which musculoskeletal pain was reported as moderate to severe (or over 5 on the pain scale). Using a combined approach of abductive analysis, conversation analysis and descriptive statistics, we show that physicians are less likely to face patient resistance when they frame their non-opioid pain treatment recommendation as novel and present the treatment as concrete and tailored to the patient’s problem.

|Note=
|Abstract=In pediatric medical visits, parents may assume the role of co-caregiver with clinicians. At times, parents challenge physicians’ authority to determine diagnoses and treatments for their children. The present study uses conversation analysis to examine parents’ accounts for their intrusions on medical authority in a corpus of 35 video-recorded pediatric neurology visits for overnight video-electroencephalogram monitoring. I show how parents can exploit their legitimate role as carers to challenge medical authority. Through invoking uncertainty in contexts where they have somehow challenged medical authority, parents can account for their conduct in ways that elide direct conflict with physicians and thereby minimize damage to the physician–family partnership.
